Sherlock opened his suitcase and checked his carry-on luggage again.
He turned back and looked at Aiwass, who was having breakfast, and raised the corners of his mouth, either out of respect or out of spite: "Our noble Pope... you are sure that I am not needed anymore, right?"
He also has a little pain in his head now.
He basically didn't do anything when he came here. Aiwass was able to solve the problem. It seemed that he just came here to read a tantra book... which made him a little at a loss.
Fortunately, I have finished reading "The Tantra of Fool's Song", at least I didn't waste too much time.
But the roommate who originally accompanied him on a business trip suddenly left the house and came back as the eternal pope - this development is still a bit confusing.
Aiwass had to explain to him that he was just a tool to help the Eternal Saint Grey--
The mechanism of the Holy Crown is that it will start to grow in reverse after being put on, but in fact it requires double the burning lifespan to maintain the normal operation of the Theocracy.
Although in theory, it is not a big problem for the current pope to continue to wear the Holy Crown. Other cardinals will not refuse this proposal... After all, Aiwass is essentially just a tool to help people queue up.
But letting Aiwass serve as the pope for half a year will actually only cost him one year of life. But for the current eternal pope who may be completely transformed into a tree at any time, she will have less free time left.
one Year.
Generally speaking, the eternal pope will become a "saint" after retiring from office, and then travel around the world, happily going on the last tour of his life. However, Pope Joan has dendrosis, which makes it impossible for her to be alone
Run too far.
In the original timeline, Ruoan's actions would become difficult by almost this time next year.
In other words, after she burned through more than three hundred years of her life and retired honorably, she only had less than one year left to live.
Then Aiwass didn't want to continue to deprive her of the little time she had left.
"Although in my opinion, this matter has little to do with you..."
Sherlock complained: "But since you want to be kind, I won't stop you. You devotees are all like this anyway.
"...But if you need anything, remember to contact me. Mr. Leblanc's address is here - if you want to find me, just write a letter, and then write 'Mr. Hermes, the hard-working bee' at the beginning, and I will know who he is.
is you."
As he spoke, he stamped a piece of paper with smooth cursive calligraphy on the table.
"——He who can do it should work harder."
Aiwass said casually: "I can just cut myself off for a few months, and squatting on the golden toilet for half a year will not cause much trouble to me. Just treat it as a retreat to level up... It is really difficult to continue to progress when the level of the dedication path is high.
This can only be regarded as everyone getting what he needs."
Although the level of extraordinary skills mainly depends on reading, and advancement depends on playing dungeons. However, the compatibility with the path determines the upper limit of this path and the speed of level improvement on the path.
After the level is high, the Transcendent Path is the easiest to upgrade - because the desire to "upgrade" itself belongs to the Transcendent Path.
But the path of devotion is difficult.
The more you give, the more you want to give... Unless you are a born saint, it is really difficult to develop such a character.
Practicing the path through ordinary acts of devotion will take a long time to survive. Unless you make some major acts of devotion... such as imprisoning yourself for the Theocracy and burning your lifespan, it will be faster.
of promotion level.
"But...although I don't know where you worked so hard, I still remember this sentence."
Before Selene could eat the note, Lily quickly snatched it away and handed it to Aiwass.
Aiwass glanced at the note: "Maurice Leblanc... I wrote it down. Speaking of which, what are you doing going to Iris this time? Is it dangerous?"
"perhaps."
"……perhaps?"
Aiwass originally just asked politely, but now he was surprised: "With your strength, can there be any problems?"
Today's Sherlock is a genuine fourth-level transcendent. In this world, he is undoubtedly a high-level transcendent.
With this strength... as long as you don't confront certain forces head-on, at least you won't be murdered.
"How about I ask Ms. Honey Badger to write you a letter of introduction so that the Hawkeye Organization can connect with you?"
"That's not necessary. Maybe it's the people with Eagle Eye who are causing trouble for my friend."
Sherlock declined.
"What's your friend's name?"
"Arsen. Arsene de Vendôme."
"...from the Duke Vendôme's family?"
Aiwass was a little surprised when he heard this name: "Do you know such a big shot?"
Iris now has three great dukes, one of which is Vendôme. What they have in common is that they all command an army, and the duke is also a general or marshal.
"She's a bride-in-law. That guy is a bride-in-law."
Sherlock smiled: "His previous name was Arsene Lupin. He was still somewhat famous in Iris...a friend I met when I went to Iris to listen to the opera."
It seems a bit familiar.
Aiwass thought for a while, but still couldn't remember where he heard it - but he was sure that he had not seen such an NPC or BOSS in the game.
That should be considered a small person.
"Well, please pay attention to your safety. If you are in danger...it is probably useless for you to call me. But you can call Isabel directly, she can contact me."
As soon as Aiwass finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something: "Oh yes, you can go find Edward! Brother, he is at the Iris Embassy now."
"Of course I know."
Sherlock smiled: "There is no need to warn me about this kind of thing - he is obviously much younger than me, but he still acts like an adult."
He rarely put away his usual sinister tone, but said softly: "See you later, Aiwass."
“Wait a minute—how long are you going this time?”
"It can be as fast as one month, or as slow as half a year. Don't worry, I will be there for your wedding to Her Majesty the Queen."
Sherlock picked up his big-brimmed hat and bowed elegantly to Aiwass: "Goodbye then, His Majesty the Pope - you should go to the 22nd Circle early, always in the 22nd Circle.
It’s not cool to stay in a place like Five Rings.”
"Goodbye, Sherlock."
Aiwass nodded solemnly: "May Si Zhu protect you, may Heng I love you. May the Lord of Scales and Feathers give you a secret blessing, allowing you to fly into the conspiracy without hurting a scale or a half of feathers."
"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty the Pope."
Sherlock smiled, picked up the suitcase and left.
Aiwass looked at Sherlock's back from the window, suddenly feeling a little sad.
But when he saw that Sherlock didn't look back, he waved his hand directly to signal Aiwass to stop looking... Aiwass laughed briskly again: "Why should I worry about such a smart person..."
